Week 3

    I imported the Illustrator file into Adobe After Effects where I then added keyframes for the rotation of the chair to make it look as if it is rocking back and forth while the TV has an image of Steamboat Willie (I may try to place a video of the cartoon later but for now I have the image).

    I assembled the scene for the beginning clip of the collage animation in Adobe Illustrator.  I put each image in Photoshop and cup them out to have a transparent background and then saved it to place into Illustrator.  I then layered the images on top of each other to make the scene I wanted. 

Week 4

    I used Procreate to draw the train from Disneyland to be used to transition from the Disneyland/world scene to the next.  I drew one car and then duplicated that layer to make the train longer and grouped all of the layers together.  I then drew the engine of the train and made that layer and the layer for the cars one group so the entire train would be one layer.

    I animated a scene of the entrance of Disneyland by cutting out the different aspects of Disney such as the castle, Mickey flowers, and Main St. USA and used the transform settings to have them slide in to create the scene.  I also added the train I made in Procreate so go by as it would in Disneyland and to then appear to be traveling outside of the park and zoom into one of the windows to go into the next scene

    I am using Procreate to draw Mickey Mouse walking on screen and am using the Animate Assist feature on the app to be able to play back the layers so Mickey can look like he is walking.

week 5

    I used Procreate to make it look as if Mickey Mouse is walking.  I used the animation assist feature on the app to playback the layers to give him the animated look.  I may need to simplify it to decrease the number of layers I have to work with or cut an already existing clip of him to make things easier

    I added text layers to to the video and gave them some movement to swipe off the screen as the song plays.  I also alternated the use of black and white against a red background to have the mickey mouse colors and to also have emphasis on certain words or syllables.

    I wanted to animate a mouse clicker into the video somehow and did it at the end of the video so it will go into a black screen with the mouse click sound effect.
